Fat grafting for breast augmentation

Soem surgeons are using fat injection for breat augementation. It is still a developing area and no one knows what the long term effects of fat grafting will be on the the native breast tissue. At present I would stick with breast implants to ensure a more reliable outcome.

Fat transfer possible for small increases in cup size in the right patient

Thank you for your question. I have heard Del Vecchio speak and seen good results. I just returned from an extensive fat grafting training course by Dr. Roger Khouri in Miami, FL. Both are respected plastic surgeons. Fat grafting works. I agree with the comments that it is a labor intensive preparation process but fat transfer does work well when done right. The best you could hope for given your body size is an increase of about 150cc of your own fat in each... more

Autologous Fat Breast Augmentation

Hello Q2U, Breast augmentation using your own fat is in its infancy, even though it seems like there's a plastic surgeon performing this procedure on every street corner. The reality is that the person getting the most impressive and consistent results (Dr. DelVecchio in Boston) requires you to undergo an elaborate preparation entailing wearing a suction bra system (can't go out with it on!) for a few weeks, and still has a 50% loss of grafted fat.

Fat grafting is not yet worked out entirely

You should still consider fat grafting to be an experimental procedure with unpredictable results. Your best bet is a small moderate profile silicone implant under the muscle.

Fat grafting for breast augmentation

I am not a fan of fat grafting. I think the jury is still out on its efficacy and there is the risk of resorption and consequent asymmetry. I would recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation and possibly consider a small implant for a more permanent and consistent result.

Fat grafting may be an option depending on the available fat

You seem to be in excellent shape and it will be hard to find 400 cc of fat (200 cc each breast) from the posted pictures. If you have fat pocket in lower body and plan to keep the same weight,fat grafting is an option. I have done many fat grafting for similar situation. You need to do your research and make sure your surgeon is qualified to do fat grafting to the breast.

Fat grafting to the breast

You already look thin and if you plan on losing weight you will have even less fat to graft. If you get fat grafting and then go on to lose weight you may lose the effect on your breasts. A small silicone gel implant is likely your best option. Good luck!

Breast Augmentation and Fat Grafting?

Thank you for the question and picture. I personally do not have any experience with fat grafting to the breasts; if you are considering this modality do your due diligence carefully and weigh the pros/cons carefully. Make sure you choose a plastic surgeon who can demonstrate a significant experience level and long-term success. Best wishes.
